Solution: Data Systems & Capacity
Livestock data systems that people keep using
We help breed societies, governments, ranches and development programmes design livestock data systems, make sense of the data they already have, and train the people who run them.
Where we help
Livestock data system design
From the records a ranch, society or county needs to keep, to the forms, apps, databases and reports that keep them. Designed to fit your staff and your reporting.
Traceability and herdbook projects
Support for identification, traceability, disease surveillance and herdbook projects: numbering schemes, registration workflows and data standards.
Data analysis and decision support
Cleaning and analysing the livestock data you already hold, and turning it into dashboards and reports people use to decide.
Training (Studbrand Academy)
Practical training for data clerks, inspectors, farm staff and managers on recording, data quality and using the systems.
Due diligence for lenders and investors
Checking the identity, records and condition of livestock offered as security or as an investment.
How we work
We start from the decision the data has to support, not from the software.
Understand the decision
Who needs which number, how often, and what they will do with it.
Map the records
What is recorded today, by whom, and where it breaks.
Design and pilot
A workable system, tested with the people who will use it.
Train and hand over
Training, documentation and support so the system keeps running.
Advisory work often leads into our products: identification, StudPro herd records, the Studbrand Registry platform for breed societies and valuation. For programmes and institutions, see how we partner. We will tell you when an existing tool you already use is the better fit.
